Comment: Lady Gaga’s week, the new album is very very good, her best since The Fame Monster, even if I got “Dope” wrong in my review! We will see how the charts work themselves out but whether it is a smash or just a hit, it does not herald the end to anything.  Both Lorde and Cate Le Bon drop two of their best songs. Lorde didn’t merely turn me on to Lorde, she also turned me onto a band I never quite got, the Replacements.
